Quite seriously: Ice Breaker or Obsidian Mind?

Obsidian Mind

20

Ice Breaker

49

I have 16 coins, and can easily get to 17 but not to 30. Accordingly, I can only buy one of these lovely, lovely items. [b]Ice Breaker[/b] [i]Pro[/i]: Everyone seems to like it. Ammo regeneration, long range, high impact, and things explode when you kill them--seems useful. [i]Con[/i]: I'm a terrible sniper. I'm the noob wasting a whole clip in the Crucible to get one body shot--or at least I would be if I bothered with snipers in the Crucible. In PvE I'm more willing to experiment, but I've had Patience and Time for a couple of months now and I have exactly two kills with it. I also don't have any shortage of high-quality exotic weapons to bring with me for PvE play. [b]Obsidian Mind[/b] [i]Pro[/i]: Throwing a nova bomb into a group of badguys is one of the most satisfying experiences in the game for me. Most of the time in PvE--particularly in Roc strikes and the weekly heroic--I suspect it's going to be a substantial upgrade over Light Beyond Nemesis. [i]Con[/i]: Not getting Ice Breaker, mostly. I also don't think have a shader that's going to look good with it. *** Basically, I'll use Obsidian Mind all the time and I suspect I'll rarely use Ice Breaker. I don't have any exotic armor that seriously competes with Obsidian Mind, but I have a number of exotic weapons that compete with Ice Breaker (including Gjallarhorn). But I also don't want to be the person that didn't buy Ice Breaker when it was available and ends up kicking himself for the next four months.
